News and discussions

  1. Darcs 2.1.0 released! With 20 bug fixes and 7 new features. Notable changes: darcs-2 repositories by default, HTTP robustness and better pending patch handling.
  2. Optimising darcs annotate. Darcs annotate is too slow. Proposed solution: create a cache mapping filenames to patches. Stay tuned for fast annotate in the future…
  3. Eleven new contributors since darcs 2.0.2. Thanks, Alex, Florent, Gaetan, Judah, Matthias, Max, Nathaniel, Steve, Taylor, Thorkil, and Vlad!
